Airbus - Info for Wedding Planners

Congratulations!

You are getting married and are planning your own wedding, or perhaps you are a family member or friend who has the pleasure to help the bride and groom with their wedding arrangements, or maybe you are a wedding coordinator assisting your clients with their special day.

In any scenario, this is going to be a big day! Santa Barbara Airbus is here to make the transportation part of your plans a smooth and easy ride. We have over 30 years experience and know what it takes to provide great wedding transportation. Check out our reviews, many are from weddings we have done.

THE IMPORTANCE OF WEDDING TRANSPORTATION

Transportation is an often overlooked aspect of a wedding. While certainly not as glamorous as choosing a dress or a cake, it has a monumental impact on how successful your wedding day can be. How are guests going to get to your wedding? Are they going to drive? Where are they going to park cars? Will there be alcohol at the reception? How will people get home? These logistics are often overlooked and can make the difference between a smooth, successful day and a day spent dealing with logistical challenges. Use Airbus to alleviate those challenges.

Getting guests to and from your wedding and reception.

Using Airbus to bring guests offers a few distinct advantages. First, everyone can arrive at the same time. You also don’t have to worry about guests trying to find their way to the venue. Perhaps even more important, everyone gets a safe ride home at night with a professional driver. We are able to pick up and drop off at multiple locations to accommodate all of your guests.

Parking Cars.

In many venues, parking is limited. Having everyone travel via an Airbus coach alleviates any parking issues. It keeps cars off venue property. It’s also better for the environment! An Airbus with 40 people takes 20-30 cars off the road!

Keep things on schedule.

It is a very special day, but it is also a very busy day. Make sure your guests are where you need them when you need them there. Especially with larger weddings, there are always a handful of people who run on “their” time. Make sure they are on time by using an Airbus to pick them up at the hotel and get them to your venue on time! Do you have to be off property by a certain time? Get everyone on an Airbus and get them home safely.

Itinerary

Here's an idea of the information we'll need as we get closer to the date. All of this information is NOT necessary to book the bus. But we will want it at least 7-10 days in advance.

- Specific time of pick up, are these multiple locations, time of departure at each location.

- Specific location and time of planned arrival at location. (please keep in mind that buses take a few minutes longer travel and loading/unloading can take anywhere from 5-10 min)

- If multiple shuttle trips are required, be specific regarding who the groups are and at what time they need to depart for the event. What time the vehicle is expected back at the origin or other location for additional shuttle services?

- At what time do the shuttles return, how many trips are anticipated and when is the final shuttle to leave the event?

- Who is our driver’s contact person on the day of the event? And the cell phone of that responsible person, with a back up contact for emergencies.

- Who decides when to release the driver for the day?
